jawbone 332 posts Jul 30, 2010 1:14 PM	I was really hoping he could stay long enough to play some blues. ---------- If it ain't got harp - it ain't really blues!!!!

jawbone 333 posts Jul 31, 2010 6:34 AM	I can't remember the name of the song - It was all on chromatic - I think it was a bit of a medley and ended by playing the melody of a new popular song. The name escapes me. (I'm old) ---------- If it ain't got harp - it ain't really blues!!!!
Elwood 498 posts Jul 31, 2010 6:35 AM	Wait - are you talking about the performance in that video posted above? I thought he made it through... ----------
jawbone 334 posts Jul 31, 2010 6:38 AM	I'm on dialup - can't watch youtube. ---------- If it ain't got harp - it ain't really blues!!!!
